Weird portupgrade error on current amd64

[Manfred Antar]

When using portupgrade on current it fails when upgrading libraries.
I can reproduce this on 3 different amd64 machines.

Example:

portupgrade -vf libnice ends like this:

The error is (Broken pipe)

portmaster works fine and portupgrade on non library ports work fine, example portupgrade -vf bash-static:

bash requires fdescfs(5) mounted on /dev/fd

If you have not done it yet, please do the following:

	mount -t fdescfs fdesc /dev/fd

To make it permanent, you need the following lines in /etc/fstab:

	fdesc	/dev/fd		fdescfs		rw	0	0

This started happening sometime in the last 2 weeks, not sure when.
It’s happening on all 3 machines Dell 2950 server, HP-SFF, and a VirtualBox running on OSX all amd64
I noticed it when I did a portupgrade -av because 10 or so ports were outdated and all the library ones failed.

Not sure how to debug it as gdb doesn’t work with /usr/local/sbin/portupgrade.

Thanks
